atmosphere of aesthetic challenge. 00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:24.000 For the studio of design is an inspiration in itself, where men and women, 00:00:24.001 --> 00:00:29.000 representing a variety of talents, join their efforts and 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:30.001 materialize their dreams. 00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:37.001 To give us a better understanding of the basic elements which go to make up the 00:00:37.001 --> 00:00:43.000 American look, let us look at an example of how styles and designs are created 00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:44.001 and developed. 00:00:47.001 --> 00:00:53.001 Working in an artistic atmosphere, men and women of taste and imagination come 00:00:53.001 --> 00:00:58.001 together to take on the task of creating a design which will express 00:00:58.001 --> 00:01:00.000 the American look. 00:01:02.001 --> 00:01:09.000 To every stylist, engineer, draftsman and clay modeler, 00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:15.001 as well as the specialists on color, fabrics and metals, the creation of a new 00:01:15.001 --> 00:01:21.001 design is a complex process and a tremendous challenge worthy of 00:01:21.001 --> 00:01:23.000 their most exhaustive effort. 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.000 And because the newest designs must be kept confidential until just the right 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.000 moment, the stylists work in rooms that are constantly locked. 00:01:36.001 --> 00:01:42.001 And here the dream begins, as the basic concepts of the design problem are 00:01:42.001 --> 00:01:44.000 defined and outlined. 00:01:44.001 --> 00:01:49.001 In the broadest terms, the objectives are stated and clarified, 00:01:50.001 --> 00:01:52.000 appraised and evaluated. 00:01:54.000 --> 00:02:00.001 And thus, a design theme, an imaginative but practical goal, is established 00:02:00.001 --> 00:02:02.000 and agreed upon. 00:02:04.001 --> 00:02:11.000 Now there is only the stylist's creativity, his courage to dream, 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:19.000 his knowledge and his experience, to bring forth a beginning, a starting 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.001 point, a place of departure. 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:30.000 And from such dream work of individual stylists, there emerge finally a number of 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:35.001 concepts, which although varying greatly in specific treatment, still conform to 00:02:35.001 --> 00:02:38.001 the established limits of the overall design theme. 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:57.001 Now the choice narrows down to one or two concepts, which combine the best 00:02:57.001 --> 00:03:00.001 styling features from all the other efforts. 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:07.001 With the basic concept established, the design must now undergo an intensive 00:03:07.001 --> 00:03:13.001 period of improvement, refinement, changes 00:03:13.001 --> 00:03:16.000 and revisions. 00:03:18.001 --> 00:03:25.000 Emerging at last as the culmination of ideas developed in many minds 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:26.001 through many months. 00:03:45.001 --> 00:03:52.000 The stylists convert the smaller sketches into full-sized renderings and line 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:57.001 drawings, which once again develop and refine the design theme. 00:03:59.001 --> 00:04:05.000 New dimensions now are added to line to translate the stylist's concept from 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.000 drawings to full-bodied forms. 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:20.000 To model the detailing for the finished design, a pliable material is needed. 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:27.000 And the form is sculptured into a faithful bodily expression of the 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:28.001 full-sized line drawing. 00:04:40.001 --> 00:04:47.001 Contours are established and held true to the exactions of templates, which 00:04:47.001 --> 00:04:51.001 accurately transfer the dimensions for conforming surfaces. 00:04:53.000 --> 00:05:00.000 At the same time, the individual art forms of decorations are sculptured in clay 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.001 for a continuing development of the three-dimensional theme. 00:05:22.001 --> 00:05:26.000 Now, the dreams are presented for approval. 00:06:09.001 --> 00:06:15.000 The exterior concept is the design theme of the interior and its concepts 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:17.000 of complement in color. 00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:38.001 Textures must harmonize with colors, and fabrics must be durable as well as 00:06:38.001 --> 00:06:42.000 artistically compatible with the overall interior theme. 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:14.000 Each design concept, exterior as well as interior, is now translated from clay 00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:19.001 to plaster, from plaster to fiberglass. 00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:28.000 Thus, the ideas, the concepts and the dreams of the stylists come to life in the 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.001 form of full-scale components modeled in fiberglass. 00:07:33.001 --> 00:07:40.001 To give us the blend of functional beauty, now comes the final transformation 00:07:40.001 --> 00:07:45.001 into metal, glass, fibers and fabrics. 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:52.000 Modern technology has supplied the American stylist with new materials of 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:54.001 intriguing lightness and great strength. 00:07:56.001 --> 00:08:03.001 The distinguishing marks of the new American look are in art forms, in colors and 00:08:03.001 --> 00:08:08.000 in the expressive changes of surface, which bring out the new textures 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:09.001 and the interplay of materials. 00:08:12.001 --> 00:08:19.001 Designs in straight, delicate lines, designs in graceful curves, designs of 00:08:19.001 --> 00:08:25.001 strength without bulk, beauty of function as well as beauty of form. 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:52.001 [...] Roc indoors or outdoors, wherever we go or wherever we 00:08:52.001 --> 00:08:59.001 stay, now and in the future, we can all depend on the stylist 00:08:59.001 --> 00:09:02.001 to beautify everything we need. 00:09:03.001 --> 00:09:08.000 From the eye appeal and swift effectiveness of the smallest utensils in the 00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:14.001 kitchen of the future, to the serene 00:09:14.001 --> 00:09:21.001 grandeur of our glistening structures, the hand of the stylist is ever 00:09:21.001 --> 00:09:26.001 designing changes to improve our life of the future. 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:02.000 Thanks to the American stylist. 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:10.001 Yes, thanks to the men and women 00:10:10.001 --> 00:10:12.001 who design. 00:10:12.001 --> 00:10:21.000 [...] 00:10:42.001 --> 00:10:58.001 [...]
